Potential guests I'm thinking maybe Sam Bush and Del McCoury since they're already on the farm. Other could potentially be Chris Thile, John C. Reilly, or others. I think this is Bonnaroo making up for the bluegrass supergroup we were supposed to get last year.

I think i remember reading an article about him and apparently during Telluride fest he rented a big lodge and had a bunch of the acts over for impromptu jams/parties at night. And he sat in with the Punch Brothers to close out the fest last year.

This should be a great show if he uses all of the other folks on the bill. Of course, Sam Bush and Del McCoury are there. Noam Pilkney is a founding member of Punch Brothers and his friends for the Spring tour are Bryan Sutton, Ronnie McCoury, Luke Bulla, and Barry Bales. Members of The Del McCoury Band, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Hot Rize, & The Lyle Lovett Band.

This is going to be awesome, and I'll be damned if I miss it. I'm willing to bet Noam Pikelny will be there, and I'm sure that Ed with play with Noam during his set. I'm really thinking that there is a huge chance that Steve Martin will show up. He plays on Noam's new album, so I'm guessing that might be who one of his "friends" is. So far only like 28 people have said that they're attending his set on the lineup page, and those 28 people are in for a treat. You don't want to miss one of the greatest living banjo players destroy the stage.

Hi Alex!

Thanks for writing. We'll have our own stage at Bonnaroo this year (all day on Sunday, June 16) with five different acts ranging from bluegrass legends to young, progressive Americana musicians. We can't reveal the full lineup just yet (that will happen in early April) but if you stay tuned to our site and Bonnaroo.com we'll have a very special announcement soon.

Really cool. Good find Alex. I wonder if the Superjam will be part of those 5 acts or if it will be 5 acts leading up to the Superjam. I still think closing the tent on Sunday with the Superjam would be awesome.

I'm beginning to think, given all the ridiculous conflicts we expect Sunday, I might end up committing to staying at the bluegrass tent all day, just make an experience out of it. Would suck to miss Tame Impala, but I'll catch them down the road sometime, but I'll never have the chance to catch the unique bluegrass superjam again.
